A recent graduate of Adekunle Ajasin University Akungba, Akoko in Ondo State, Temitayo, was stabbed to death over N1,000 naira debt.

Temitayo, who recently graduated from the Physics Electronics department, was stabbed with a pair of scissors, according to the Peoples Gazette on Thursday.

According to a source from the University's Student Union who confirmed the incident, Temitayo intervened in a naira payment dispute between a "Egbon Adugbo" and a third party, promising to settle the bill for the latter.

Temidayo was able to reimburse the perpetrators for 3000 naira of the 4000 naira but was unable to pay the remaining 1,000 naira due to an argument.

He said, “As usual they acted as Egbon adugbo to collect money. So he said he can’t give them, which led into an argument as if they’d meant to deal with him … and they came from nowhere to stab him after a lot of arguments and they scattered the villa with bottles and spoiled our gate.

A 35-year-old suspect, Ayodele Osuya, arrested with 228 Kilograms of substances suspected to be Indian Hemp, by Ondo State Command of the Nigeria Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA), has confessed why he ventured into the illicit business.

Osuya said he was kidnapped some time ago and had to sell all he had to pay for the ransom demanded by his captors before they released me. It was a sad experience.

I’m only trying to help my family. I have nobody to help me. So, that is why I have to get myself involved in this business, to cater for my family.

” I just started this year, because last year, Fulani herdsmen kidnapped me.

” I sold all I had, including my building, my vehicle.

“Because I have nobody that could help me. I had to sell what I have to free myself. I paid for my ransom from the proceed of my property that I sold for me to be freed.

He, however said he was not the owner of the vehicle in which the suspected Indian hemp were discovered.

Earlier, the State Commandant of the NDLEA, Mr Kayode Raji, said his men had been on the suspects trail for a long time.

Raji said that the suspect was arrested with 309 pieces of the Indian hemp weighing 228kg sealed in the booth of a Toyota Camry car.

“We have been on his trail for a very long time and at a time, we also suspected that he was very suspicious and almost about to get wind he was being trailed, so we relaxed the manhunt.

We employed characters so that our identity will be concealed. But at the end of the day, on March 29, he was nabbed at a place called Quarter guard in Akure, Ondo State.

“And a compressed cannabis, carefully stacked in the booth of the car, about 309 pieces of compressed cannabis, of about 228kg ,” he said.

Raji, appealed to the people of the state to stop the illicit business, noting that “dealing and cultivating cannabis pays nobody, sit is evil and we should all steer clear of it.’

He vowed to combat the “merchant of death frontally in the state, declaring that “it is either you get out of the state or you get out of the business.”

Seun, can you make a list of words that are prohibited so that our freedom of speech is not ridiculed in the guise of fighting tribalism.

Make a comprehensive list or a comprehensive definition of what tribal slurs are. Define tribal slurs and what can as tribal slurs if there's no list. Thanks.

" Tribe of the fallen demon" has been used to insult people here. It's a phrase not even a word.

SAY NO TO TRIBALISM OR CYBER BULLYING. I STAND AGAINST BOTH VICES AND CONDEMN THEM AS A GOOD NAIRALAND MEMBER!

Keep ya mouth shut, mischievous fellow looking for a way to beat the system.

MightySparrow:
Igboland is enemy locked. Self made enemies.
Calling Lagos a no man's land is insult to yoruba people as well as calling northern people fools in their own land.
As long as you hold this mindset.
Igbos will be enemy locked.

Okay

When you dredge the river, dies it through another state or not?

Do any of your 5 only states (Abia, Anambra, Enugu, Ebonyi, Imo) border with the Atlantic?


Go and sit down and stop copying and pasting rubbish epistles written by some senseless IPOB and Biafra agitator who want to seem relevant.😂🤣😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Okay

It’s often said that a lie told so many times, if unchallenged, may – in course of time – begin to for the truth. One of such is the terrible lie, institutionally purveyed since the end of the Civil War, to the effect that Igboland is landlocked or has no access to the sea. The purpose of this essay, therefore, is to debunk this lie with some simple historical and topographical evidence that are even in plain view, if you care to dig or do some physical explorations of your own. Suffice it to say that it is a profound tragedy that entire generations of the immediate post-War Igbos never bordered to check but seemingly accepted this brazen institutional falsehood, largely intended to taunt the Igbo and put them down. A few that knew it to be false just didn’t care anymore. And that History was banned since the end of the Civil War made it worse, plus the fact that most people don’t take physical Geography that serious anymore, otherwise they would have known that Abia, Imo and Anambra States have varying short-distance paths to the Atlantic through Imo, Azumiri and Niger Rivers.

It’s not really rocket science, as you can easily confirm this if you know how to read Google Earth; or conquer your fear of swamp snakes and walk through these areas on foot. There are also many other hardly explored waterways and slithering tributaries, including the remote reaches of Oguta Lake and Oseakwa River in Ihiala (Anambra State) that meandered through Igbo-delta wetlands to the Southeastern ends of the Atlantic waterfront. These rivers have varying lengths of short navigational paths to the Atlantic, and in some cases, are far shorter nautically (and even on footpath) than the Portharcourt, Calabar and Ibaka seaports are to their side of the Atlantic. Many of these pathways, including particularly the ones from the outer reaches of Imo and Azumiri Rivers terminate at the Atlantic at no more than 15 to 30 Nautical miles to the beachhead. To put it in lay language, one nautical mile equals 1.8 kilometers. Thus, the contiguity of Southeast (not even the greater Igboland) to the Atlantic is less nautical miles than the Atlantic is to the seaports in Calabar, Onne, Ibaka, Lagos and Portharcourt. If you discount the territories excised from Igboland during State creations and the damnable boundary adjustments, it will be far less.

To be sure, Ikwerre land or Igweocha which bears the greater portions of the Portharcourt seaport was dredged up to 50 miles to the Atlantic front through the Bonny River. Onne seaport was dredged up to 60 miles to the Atlantic and Calabar seaport was dredged some 45 nautical miles to the Atlantic. Ibaka seaport is about 30 nautical miles to the Atlantic and the Lagos seaports dredged up to about 50 nautical miles to the Atlantic. Compare all these to Obuaku in Abia State, which is only 25 nautical miles to the Atlantic from the confluence of Imo and Azumiri Rivers, of which Azumiri, on its own merits, lies not more than 30 nautical miles to the Atlantic beachfront. The less obvious one is the little-known Oseakwa River in Ihiala (Anambra State) which is mere 18 nauticals to the Atlantic, all with its 65 feet of natural depth, unarguably comparable to no other River in Nigeria. Additionally, what is geopolitically known as Igboland today is far smaller than what it was and legally supposed to be.

As far back as 1856, Baikie – one of the earliest and credible Geographers of ancient Nigeria, had this to say – “Igbo homeland, extends east and west, from the Old Kalabar river to the banks of the Kwora, Niger River, and possesses also some territory at Aboh, an Igbo clan, to the west-ward of the latter stream. On the north it borders on Igara, Igala and A’kpoto, and it is separated from the sea only by petty tribes, all of which trace their origin to this great race” (Baikie, William Balfour, published with a sanction of Her Majesty’s Government in 1856). But with that infamous post-War abandoned property policy and and the egregious institutional injustices in boundary adjustments and the widespread anti-Igbo gerrymandering, Igbos physically and psychologically lost hold of their vested ancestral lands, all to the point of not caring anymore about their historical contiguity to the Atlantic, which their ancestors beheld and called ‘Oshimiri’ (The Great Sea). The psychological beat-down and gang-up got so bad that some of the descendants of these Igbo ancestors (nearest to the Atlantic and now lying outside Southeast) are no longer sure whether they are Igbo or not. The worst injustice was in 1976 when the Justice Nasir Boundary Adjustment Commission made a serious and targeted agenda of carving out core Igboland territories into some neighboring States of the South-South. But they didn’t quite make an absolute success of it. They missed the southernmost Southeast lands that possess Rivers that meandered through slices of Igbo-friendly South-South territories and ended up at the Atlantic, thus unwittingly placing Igboland and its right of access to the sea under the canons of customary international law. As it stands, international law of the sea guarantees Igboland (whether it remains Nigerian territory or not) unhindered access to the nearest sea (in this case: the Atlantic) peacefully by the many short-distance rivers, waterways and tributaries that originated from Igboland but ultimately washed into the Atlantic through contiguous South-South territories. For avoidance of doubt, there’s particularly the Obuaku confluence in Ukwa West (Abia State) that flows through Ikot Abasi in Akwa Ibom State before expanding out and washing into the near-reaches of the Atlantic. And the River Niger which ultimately ed the Atlantic through a vast network of hardly explored creeks and mangrove swamps that abut the Bight of Bonny in the South-South.

Nigeria is subject to the International Law of the Sea and is therefore bound to abide by its provisions, should the need arise in a scenario of persistent sovereign oppression of an identifiable indigenous group within Nigeria. The others are the United Nations Treaty of the Sea and the African Union Treaties and Conventions on the Sea, including particularly the African Charter on Human and People’s Rights, which Nigeria ratified and domesticated in 1983. The pertinent provisions are mostly embedded in the copious provisions relating to the collective economic and commercial rights of indigenous peoples lying within the Treaty nations. Ndigbo are undoubtedly an indigenous people presently lying within Nigeria. So, international law will surely come into play if a conflict arises out of Nigeria’s persistent institutional resistance to granting a seaport to Igboland.

FatherOfJesus:
Then why are you people even investing in these things 😂

In our own family, we don't have any properties outside of Asaba. When we were growing up, my dad wanted to build a house in Ijebu ode. He got the land and wanted to start developing, my mum had to call all the family to force him not to do it. And that was suppose to be our fist property.
My dad speaks Yoruba a lot and he was too comfortable in Yoruba land. He's retired now and he stays in this same house he built in Asaba instead of ijebu ode.
I called him yesterday, I told him, shey you Don see say you made the right choice by not building in ijebu ode? You see wetin Yorubas dey do now?

Make una dey get sense. If you re in Lagos, make your money, rent house there . If you want to build, just build one and have it at the back of your mind that you are selling it once you are prepared to leave.

If you want to build a factory, build it in the east and strategize on how to connect Lagos market. No build factory for Yoruba land

God bless you

In a twitter post i saw a man believed to be Yoruba lying lifeless on the flow while people believe to be from igbo origin jubilating that one Thug has been shut dead.

If that’s true that igbos have guns in Lagos and are shooting Yoruba people calling them thugs. We are interested in knowing the community that’s condoning such act of terror upon their host so that we can send security operative there to inquire from them whose authority they are operating on for them
to kill an indegene of Lagos State

You, your father and mother are next to be slaughtered like allahu akubar sallah ram. Oloshi Oloriburuku omo ale!
